NOTE: A reboot is needed when you upgrade to a newer version.
If upgraded from 6.1.2 and earlier to 6.2.0.567 or later, you need to upgrade to 6.1.3 or later (until 6.2.0.555) first.
If upgraded from 8.2.1.143 and earlier to 8.2.1.435 or later. Re-Solidification isneeded. See KB91257 for more information.
Reboot required status does not update if the upgrade is performed in Disable mode and rebooted before the mode was changed.
See KB92408 for more information about How to know if MACC needs to reboot.
Our installer allows you to upgrade to any version, but Support and Engineering recommend these upgrade paths.
Inventory architectural changes were changed from 6.x to 7.x to 8.x, which is why it is important that you not upgrade directly from 6.x to 8.x.
When you upgrade from 6.x to 8.x, features enable/disable do not retain the status in some situations.
To upgrade the MACC extension 6.0.0 or earlier than 6.2.0 to ePolicy Orchestrator (ePO), follow the order below to perform the upgrade:
Upgrade MACC extension to 6.2.0.
Upgrade ePO to 5.3.0-5.3.3.
Upgrade the MACC extension from6.2.0 to 7.x.x, and then upgrade to 8.3.1.
